• Enterprise-level advisory experience connecting technical security issues with operational risks, priorities, and management decisions.
• Strong experience leading multidisciplinary cybersecurity risk assessments and defining practical treatment plans, residual risks, and ownership.

• Resolve complex or stalled security issues by bringing the right stakeholders together, clarifying responsibilities, and establishing a practical way forward.
• Strengthen customer and Opoura capabilities through professional leadership, knowledge transfer, and reusable methods and documentation.
